How to search for files in Xubuntu / XFCE with just Thunar and a Bash script

[fox-out]

Catfish rules with Thunar. It's really useful! I hope developers of Thunar and Xubuntu will take care of File Searching in next releases. May be in Ubuntu 9.30 or 15.20...
Thank you!

First of all, Thanks so much for the script, this is really useful!

I wonder if it is possible to make a custom actions that can 'Copy file path' (similar to 'copy link location' in firefox, that is when you right click on a file in Thunar, click 'copy file path', and the file path will be copied to the clipboard, so that I can paste the path such as '/usr/share/icons/xxx/xxx.svg' to my .desktop files.

Sounds like great idea, the translation


Meanwhile, I did a gtkdialog version for me including the slocate option.

I know this is off topic but I'm sort of desperate to find a good tutorial, howto, manual, forum about gtkdialog. Do you know of any?.
I'm aware of:
http://forum.goblinx.com.br/viewtopic.php?p=3418#3418 which not complete and for event driven script (which don't work on my system because of a no solved bug)
Googling for hours did not show too much, just found some examples.
Any help appreciated

Thanks

I keep getting Permission denied when I try to run this line and I don't know why. I add "sudo" before it.

chmod +x integrate-catfish.sh ; ./integrate-catfish.sh
